AFL career

Collingwood

He was recruited by Collingwood with forty-first selection in the 2013 rookie draft. He made his debut in round 1, 2013, against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.[1]

The athletic 195 cm backman, played 54 games for the Magpies but fell out of favour and decided to look elsewhere

Brisbane Lions

After being out of contract with Collingwood at the conclusion of the 2016 season, he nominated the Brisbane Lions as his preferred new club.[2] He was officially traded to Brisbane in October.[3]

Frost played two games for Brisbane before suffering concussion. The persistence of ongoing symptoms over the past two years were a concern to Frost, his family and the Club.[4] At the end of the 2018 season, concussion symptoms forced him to retire. Frost has suffered 14 concussions in his six-year AFL career at the Lions and Collingwood.[5]

Post AFL

Frost is currently coach of Hawthorn's AFL Wheelchair and AFL Blind teams.[6]

Family

His father, David Frost, played thirty-four matches for the Glenelg Football Club and seventy-two matches for the Sturt Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) during the 1980s and his younger brother, Sam Frost currently is on the Hawthorn list after spending time at Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne
